SOME REASONS WHY
Every Citizen iii Pope Count,
should Take an Interest In
the Arkansas Exposition.

the Arkansas Exposition.
Pope County Mail.
Because we have 2I4,755 acres Of
land yet belonging to the state and
government which should be settled.
Because we want honest industri-
GUS immigrants to buy and settle all
these lands that are available.
Because our state taxes are Sl.20
on the 800, and the greater the
amount Of table property the less
would be the rate to raise the requir-
ed amount.
Because this vacant land pays no
taxes.
Because industrious immigrants
will help us develop our varied re.
sources.
5n...s;ause they will help US build ur
better schools and school houses
churches and church houses.
Because Arkansas is the best ad
vertised state in the Union, and there
will be thousands of home seekers al
the exposition looking for places tc
locate theirs and their neighbors
families.
Because other counties are going
to have good displays, if we DON
we will get left
Because with our excellent bot
toms and good uplands coal and min
eral and timber and quarries o
building stone and an abundance o
water that never runs dry and
country where everything in the way
of fruits and vegetables do well ant
q total drouth is entirely unknown
| and climate that never gets to ex
tremes, we can offer homes in one o
the best average countries the SUI
shines on.
Because I'VE have all this fin
country, but if we don't advertise
nobody will know anything about i
Because the exposition will be th
1 best means for such advertising tina
we could possibly get.
Because it is an enterprise tina
will benefit us all, and if we don
look out for our own interest nobod
else will

A Political Debate that Didn't
fCOme Off.

Last Saturday was the day agreed
upon for the discussion of political Is
sues by Messrs. Bradley and Mallett at
Atkins. Ever since their debate here
last July there has been a general de-
sire for second discussion, and natur-
ally enough. the time and place being
understood, large crowd assembled
to hear them. Imagine then the great
disappointment, and evident chagrin
of his political associates, when Mr..
Mallett failed to maUerialize either in
person or by proxy. Mr.. Bradley,
therefore had the field to himself, but
declined to make a speech, further than
to pay his respects to the Wheel and
knights of Labor, and excoriate the
truant orator in rather vigorous english,
characterizing his absence as an uncer-
emonious back down and unbecoming
discourtesy.
Mr.. Ben Whittenberg, a political as
sociate of the absent orator, undertook
to excuse his champion by publicly an
nouneing that Mr.. Mallett had stated
to him that he had sent his reasons for
declining to again meet Mr.. Bradley
in communication to the Russellville
DEMOCRAT, and that the paper had not
only refused to publish it, but had re-
iected other communications from him
also. This charge against the Demo-
Graf was denied by its editor on the
spot. Since then we have talked with
Mr.. Mallett and that gentleman states
that he does not even know Mr.. Whit
tenberg, and never told him nor any
one else that the DEMOCRAT had refus-
ed space for his communications. So
much for Mr.. Whittenberg.
Mr.. John Burnett, a worthy Point
Remove farmer followed Mr.. Bradley
In very timely and sensible admoaition
to his farmer friends urging them to
quit listening to the vaporing of carpet
baggers who come among them seek
ing Office and talking war. He said
that anybody, even the colored man,
could succeed In this country, by work
and attending to his own business. He
alluded to the new fencing and new
houses going up all over the country,
the campmeetings and the growing re-
ligous denominations everywhere.
Why, said he, there were twenty peo-
pie baptized in the creek by my house
yesterday. He closed by saying that
he was once member OF the Wheel
but like nancy others, seyired his con-
nection with it, when he saw where
the leaders wanted to lead the organiza-
ton. His speech was ronndly applaud
ed and had a telling effect.

The CITY Marshal OF Iuka, MISS.

The gentleman who sent US the
following certificate is the City Mar
shell Of Iuka, Miss, end is man Of
high character and prominently
known throughout the State. His
son had suffered intensely for six
years from an eruption of the skin,
caused by poison oak. All remedies,
it appears, failed, until, fortunately,
S. S. S. was tried, when the cure
was made with wonderful prompt
ness. Here is what this gentlemen
says:
Gentlemen-My son had suffered
for the past six years with an erup-
tion on his legs, caused from poison
oak and cracking of the feet Moth
ing seemed to eradicate the poison

tirely cured him, and | heartily re-
commend 1t to the public as sure
cure for poison oak.
